Default non liquid gas threw injectors?

come again?

You mean you want to control gas flow as opposed to liquid flow?

The injector concept will work, but not the actual injectors that are there. For one thing, they don't flow enough gas (assuming propane or natural gas???). Another thing, for effective metering, I think you need to have enough pressure difference across the injector to achieve sonic flow. I don't know what the max pressure rating is on the stock fuel components.

So, short answer is no.

yeah i dont think i will know for sure what it will do till i do it.. but i have another plan to bypass even having to know how to do that..now i just need a tuner that i can cut the fuel flow from the injector by 75% or so.. i just dont know what tuner will do that

I think anybody with a tuning package can do that, probably except at really low fuel spots like idle... that might be a little touchy. That's if you just want to cut gasoline flow by 70%

I'm pretty sure this can be done with any of the popular tuners like hptuners, etc... I don't see why not. perhaps someone with more experience with these can chime in.
